Dedenne Raid Guide

Dedenne

Dedenne is an Electric and Fairy type T3 raid boss with a raid boss CP of 13109. Previously it was a tier 1 raid, but has recently been upgraded to a tier 3, making it trickier. It will still be soloable for high level trainers, and those who are well prepared with counters, but players who are new to the game, or without ideal counters, may want to bring a friend.

It’s an Electric and Fairy type, so it’s only weak to Ground and Poison type attacks. It’s resistant to Bug, Dark, Electric, Fighting, and Flying, with a large resistance to Dragon.

Dedenne is boosted by Rainy and Cloudy weather.

• CP range on catch (L20): 991 – 1051
• Weather Boosted CP range on catch (L25): 1239 – 1315

Moveset

Dedenne has the potential to be quite spammy, but all Ground types can shrug off its rapid-fire discharges. Plenty of the Ground type options are great budget options and still pack a good punch against the Antenna Pokémon.

Sprites

Dedenne is available shiny in Pokémon GO, and it becomes an amazing chocolate brown colour!

Conclusion

Dedenne is an interesting little corebreaker in the Great League of PvP, comparable in bulk to either Raichu. Check out JRESeawolf’s article about it for more details.

Stay safe, trainers!
